One of the things I notice about Silicon Valley & Big Tech is how often they co-opt the language of transformation and change, and yet how poor they are at following through. Education, healthcare, and housing - all getting gradually worse. Not Silicon Valley’s concern. They’re chasing investor trillions to get rich quickly from AI.
The US administration is tariffing left, right, and center to encourage homegrown stories like the one in Mexico. What if Silicon Valley is built to just not care?
I can buy a street legal golf cart for about $8,000; there is a decent market in parts of the USA for them. There were articles back in '08 suggesting that Americans use them as second cars in sunbelt suburbs as a cheaper alternative to a full car.
